I have even added an IOException to catch the exception thrown by copyFile but it keeps asking me to printStackTrace().

2,539 PointsI haven't done any of the videos, but I am a Java developer. As far as I can tell something is not right from their end. This is my code:
try {
InputStream in = assetManager.open(assetName);
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(fileToWrite);
copyFile(in, out);
}
catch(Exception exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
}
Yet it also keeps asking me to call it. In fact, if I try to catch IOException and then Exception I get no error. So Joseph, I don't think what you are doing is wrong.
Oh, and after I thought about it some more and looked at the error:
JavaTester.java:45: error: unreported exception IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
copyFile(in, out);
^
1 error
I think the issue is in the method copyFile(). It needs to throw an IOException. It doesn't, so we can't catch it. The error is in code we can't access.

Treehouse TeacherSorry all! Looks like I introduced some sort of bug in that challenge. This should now be fixed.
